I think a CommodoreSixtyFour or AppleIi version would be the most fun.... whether it works as an HTTP server, as a BBS mod, or as a stand-alone program, why not? Hypertext has been done on Atari 8-bit BBSes, this one just goes a little further.

''That would certainly be obscure. I'm not sure about SLIP/TCP implementations for C64, but then real programmers interface directly to the wires using the cassette port ;).''

I'd say TCP/IP wouldn't be a requirement. Just make it accessible on, say, a single-user application written in BASIC or 6502 assembly. The WikiPrinciples say it should be publicly accessible, but you could probably say that a computer doesn't need remote access to be public, much less Internet access specifically. Or, through the magic of emulation combined with client/server technology, you can argue that any Commodore program can  be accessible to the public.

''Kodak makes a camera with a built-in scripting language. Who will be the first to bring wiki up on that? To be a wiki I have to be able to make pages that link over the internet.''

''What about a wiki written in postscript, that could run directly of a printer? Not sure what the input mechanism would be, but postscript seems like the perfect language for a wiki.''

''I remember writing games on my scientific calculator when I got bored in math class... anybody up for THAT challenge? Hmm also interesting might be something accessible on mobiles, perhaps java, or with an SMS interface. GenuinelyUseful?'' -- SvenNeumann

A Commodore 64 wiki on a single system?  I just had an idea.  Know how ColorForth has different colors for foos and bars?  Well, Commodore 64 has intrinsic support for colored text in a very lightweight way.  So, the wiki syntax would be that all blue text under 15 characters is a link to a page with the most similar filename, to save the trouble of writing case-sensitive logic.  Then, all you need to implement is the text editor and the navigation.  Except, search and BackLinks are problematic.  You'd have to run a batch that generates some kind of word index.
